What are you drinking tonight?

I hope they topped it up!
I am a bit partial to Home Bargains "Love Lane" range of beers, which I came across some time ago. It was only when I tried to buy some online prior to a festival, that I discovered Home Bargains (TJ Morris) owned the brewery. They have a tap room in the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool which is now on my list of places to visit.
I went into Home Bargains yesterday to get the lads at the garage something to keep a cup of tea company, as it's service and MOT day today and saw they have a few new beers
Golden Oldie looks like it's their 50th Anniversary beer
NZ Pilsner has 'South Pacific hops'
Summer Daze is a Hazy Pale with U.S. Hops
I haven 't tried any of them yet as I was into a Kirin Ichiban and some Aperol Spritzes.
The core stuff is the Baltic Lager, the Pale Ale and the NEIPA, plus they do a stout as well.
And yes, that is a Hooch. I've never had one and I like cherries and vodka, but not necessarily at the same time. Don't judge me
I've previously had:
"Märzenfest", which was an amber lager a bit like when you could get proper Brooklyn Lager in this country
Spring Pale with "British hops"
Welsh Sparkle from Treboom in Bagillt, Flintshire, but found on the shelves of Home Bargains in Rushden.
Edit - I ought to point out that the Home Bargains stuff is, indeed, a bargain. The lagers and IPAs start around £1.09 - £1.29, while the more 'limited' editions are more like £1.39 - £1.49.
They are not to be found in the £4 craft beer in a tin section in Waitrose and that lot there will probably last until Busfest.

Gets the job done fast
Is that because there is enough sugar in vimto that it would be crazy to add more?
Pretty much!
Not wanted to be non inclusive or anything but I’m beginning to think this thread isn’t for you!
